AWS User Group Poland - meetup #10

This time we will conduct the whole meeting in English because one of the presentations will be done by a special guest from AWS!

You can expect two lectures:

1. Bumpy road to cloud native business, why good architecture matters more than ever

Jamf is a software company that is the developer of Jamf Pro solution to manage Apple devices in Enterprise. Jamf Ends 2020 Powering More Than 20 Million Devices. In 2002 when the company has been founded we offered boxes with software now we are a SaaS provider. Today we would like to share the story about our journey to cloud native business and why it’s slightly more difficult than looks at first sight.

2. Test your code for the love of PROD!

That's it! You hit that git push command! The code's on its way to production. It's an amazing piece of code, after all - you wrote it. But are you sure it's good? Are you sure it will not break anything down the line? I'm sorry for making you think about it... Okay, let's talk about code testing strategies on AWS, so you no longer have to worry if your code will go broken to PROD. In this talk, we will see how we can use AWS Deployment and Observability tools to help you in your adventure for careless code deployments!
